Was a great day, no spin's, no car troubles, perfect weather how trackdays should be 
Got told off once, accidentally over took two Caterhams round a bend as I thought they had pulled right over and were going super slow... apparently they hadn't opps
Good to meet you Steve, especially when I discovered your car isn't entirely standard!!Got told off once, accidentally over took two Caterhams round a bend as I thought they had pulled right over and were going super slow... apparently they hadn't opps
Oh, and - no - I had no car probs at Colerene, that was a chap called 'TotalVX' in a turbo VX220.. probably still no match for yours!

I think a VX with a turbo and a touch of tuning would be absurdly fast, always been interested in them as a potential MX5 replacement, thing with the MX5 is its so easy to drive flat out. I've an MR2 as well thats lots slower but I've never attended a trackday in the MR2 without at least one spin, mid-engined is far harder on the limit.
Good to meet you
Steve

Anyone know when the next event like this is on at Abingdon? Would really fancy getting the little Eunos on track as it were, keep saying I'm going to do it but never seem to get round to it. Abingdon is perfect for me......
14th November Motor Sport Events. I've decided to put my track car to bed now for the winter and do a few more engine alterations to see if I can run a bit more boost

I was there (silver e46 328ci)...my first time drving at an MSE event (was at Keevil a few months ago)...had an absolute blast...all in all a great day out and glad the weather held out.
Ah, I was parked up basically opposite you all day, had a bit of a chat with your mate in the Silver M3 whilst getting lunch I was in the Black Eunos/ MX5.

As long as your car isn't dropping fluids or going to breakdown on track then its fine, no inspections etc
Have a browse of their website it should explain everything. Abingdon is an airfield but its a good one with real tarmac not concrete and the surface is good, track nice layout etc Good place for a beginner all in all.
